Corsair launches TC500 LUXE gaming chair for $499.99, featuring a non-traditional design for comfort's sake

Corsair's latest product in the market is the TC500 LUXE gaming chair, but this is not just a "bucket seat from a rally" (Corsair's words, not ours). This chair moves away from the traditional "racing seat" aesthetic of many gaming chairs, instead sporting a more premium and ergonomic design that prioritizes comfort for long gaming sessions or workdays. Corsair's blog explicitly states:

The TC500 LUXE features a wider seat and gentler bolsters compared to typical gaming chairs. Corsair claims that this design choice conforms to a broader range of body types and allows for more relaxed seating positions. The chair has breathable, stain-resistant fabric with quilted details. It comes in three color options: Shadow (dark grey), Frost (off-white), and Sherwood (dark green).

The TC500 LUXE has a multitude of adjustment options. The integrated four-way adjustable lumbar support allows the person to fine-tune the back support for their specific needs. The Omni-flex armrests boast a wide range of motion, letting you find the perfect position for optimal comfort, whether you're a dedicated gamer or working long hours. The chair also offers height adjustability, tilt lock, tilt tension adjustment, and a reclining backrest.

Corsair's TC500 LUXE gaming chair is built on a sturdy steel frame and has a weight capacity of 120kg (264lbs). The gaming chair is fitted with smooth-rolling PU casters for convenient movement across various floor surfaces, and comes with a detachable memory foam neck pillow for additional neck support. 

Corsair's product page has an assembly guide for the TC500 LUXE. It's priced at $499.99, and the company is offering a 2-year warranty from the day of purchase. Similarly priced gaming chairs (with a more traditional design) include Secretlab's Titan Evo Lite ($519 on Amazon), which comes with an extra year of warranty as well.
